Walk Away

By Christina Aguilera

From the fourth studio album "Stripped"​

Track nhạc thứ 3 "Walk Away" thuộc thể loại Pop và R&B/Soul miêu tả cuộc đấu tranh khi ở trong một mối quan hệ độc hại mà một người biết là có hại nhưng lại khó thoát ra. Lời bài hát nói về cảm giác bị lừa dối, nghiện ngập và bị giam cầm bởi một đối tác lôi kéo, mặc dù nhận ra sự cần thiết phải ra đi vì hạnh phúc của bản thân. Lời cầu xin "get away" và "walk away" lặp đi lặp lại phản ánh mâu thuẫn nội tâm giữa khát vọng tự do và sự gắn bó tình cảm cứ kéo người kể chuyện lại. Nhìn chung, bài hát truyền tải những cuộc đấu tranh nội tâm và những rối loạn cảm xúc có thể xảy ra khi cố gắng thoát khỏi một mối quan hệ hủy hoại.

Lời bài hát (English)​

What do you do

When you know something's bad for you

And you still can't let go?

I was naive, your love was like candy

Artificially sweet, I was deceived by the wrapping

Got caught in your web and I learned how to bleed

I was prey in your bed and devoured completely

Oh, and it hurts my soul 'cause I can't let go

All these walls are cavin' in

I can't stop my sufferin'

I hate to show that I've lost control

"Cause I, I keep goin" right back to the one thing that I need

To walk away from, yeah

I need to get away from you

Need to walk away from you

Get away, walk away, walk away

I should have known that I was used for amusement

(For amusement)

Couldn't see through the smoke, it was all an illusion

Now I've been lickin' my wounds (Lickin' my wounds)

But the venom seeps deeper (And deeper)

We both can seduce, but darlin', you hold me prisoner (Prisoner)

Oh, I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache

I'm addicted to your allure

And I'm feindin' for a cure

Every step I take leads to one mistake

I keep goin' right back to the one thing that I need, oh

I can't mend, this torn state I'm in

Getting nothing in return

What did I do to deserve

The pain of this slow burn?

And everywhere I turn

I keep goin' right back to the one thing that I need

To walk away from, yeah

I need to get away from you

I need to walk away from you

Every time I try to grasp for air

I am smothered in despair, it's never over, over, oh

It seems I'll never wake from this nightmare

I let out a silent prayer, let it be over, over, ooh

Inside I'm screaming, begging, pleading no more, ah-ah

I don't know what to do

My heart has been bruised

So sad, but it's true

Each beat reminds me of you

Ooh, it hurts my soul 'cause I can't let go

All these walls are cavin' in

I can't stop my sufferin'

I hate to show that I've lost control, 'cause I

I keep goin' right back to the one thing that I need

Oh, I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache

I'm addicted to your allure

And I'm feindin' for a cure, oh

Every step I take leads to one mistake

I keep goin' right back to the one thing that I need, oh

I can't mend, this torn state I'm in

Getting nothing in return

What did I do to deserve

The pain of this slow burn?

And everywhere I turn

I keep goin' right back to the one thing that I need

To walk away from, yeah

Yeah, mmm, yeah

I said I need to get away from you

Need to walk away from you (Ooh)

I need to get away from you

Need to walk away from you

I need to get away from you

Need to walk away from you (only thing I need to do)

I need to get away from you

Need to walk away from you

I need to get away from you (Is walk away from you)

Need to walk away from you

I need to get away from you (Yeah)

Need to walk away from you

I need to get away from you (Walk away)

Need to walk away from you

I need to get away from you (Walk away)

Need to walk away from you

Get away, walk away, walk away (Ooh)
